MDZS Characters Watching the Future

34. Encounter

After both sides stayed still for a moment, Wei WuXian silently turned around and fled.

"Please, run quickly." muttered Sizhui.

"Why am I running away?" asked Wei Wuxian.

Having only managed a short distance, he heard a sizzling noise, and a purple electric current wrapped around his lower leg as if it was a snake. Numbness and pain surged through his body from bottom to top, and he fell at once, after a pull from behind. Then, someone picked him up with the back of his collar. Wei WuXian immediately tried to find the Spirit-Locking Bag, but the other grabbed it before him.

Everyone was shocked. This was the second time that Jiang Cheng whipped Wei Wuxian on screen.

"Why is a-cheng acting like that again?" asked Jiang Yanli, worriedly.

The juniors don't know what to say so they just stayed silent while avoiding their gazes.

Jiang Cheng walked a few steps while holding him, entered the nearest shop, and kicked open the wooden bolt that was already half-latched.

The owner was getting ready to close the shop for the night. Suddenly, seeing that a fancy-clothed, dark-faced young man kicked open the door and walked inside with someone in his hand, appearing as if he was going to disembowel the victim right here, the owner was so frightened that he couldn’t speak. A disciple went up and whispered a few things in his ear. With some silver pushed into his hands, he quickly fled to the back of the hall and never came out again. Without any further instructions, the Jiang Sect’s disciples instantly spread out from the inside to the outside, making it so that nothing could enter or escape the place.

"A-niang looked scary." said Jingyi.

"Jiang Cheng." muttered Wei Wuxian, he is worrying about the interaction that will happen between them in the screen.

Jin Ling stood on the side, seeming as if he wanted to say a few things, but was too shocked to do so. Jiang Cheng glowered at him, “I’ll take care of you later. Stay here!”

From the beginning of his memory until now, Jin Ling had never seen such a look on Jiang Cheng’s face before. This uncle of his who led the prominent YunmengJiang Sect ever since a young age had always been cold and dark. When he spoke, he was willing to neither show mercy nor do good. Yet, right now, although he was trying hard to suppress unnecessary facial expressions, his eyes were alarmingly intense.

"I agree. I never saw Jiang-xiong like that even though he is always mad at everything." said Nie Huaisang.

"But why though?" asked Jiang Yanli.

Although his face had always been clouded, marked with arrogance and satire, it seemed as if every corner of it had come alive. It was difficult to determine whether it was vengeful wrath, fathomless hatred, or raving ecstasy.

Jiang Cheng added, “Lend me your dog.”

"What?! Why are you asking for dog?" asked Wei Wuxian.

"Shijie!" he shouted and ran to Jiang Yanli.

"He is using someone's childhood trauma." said Sizhui darkly.

Lan Wangji and others who came to like Wei Wuxian was glaring at Jiang Cheng.

Jin Ling pulled himself out of the daze. He hesitated for a moment and only whistled after Jiang Cheng shot him two lightning-sharp beams from his eyes. The dog dashed over in just a few leaps. Wei WuXian, body as stiff as an iron board, could only be dragged forward, walking one step at a time.
